Leviticus 26:24-36 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

24. then I myself will also go against you in hostility, and I myself also will strike you seven times for your sins.

25. And I will bring upon you a sword that seeks vengeance for the covenant, and you shall be gathered to your cities; and I will send a plague in your midst, and you shall be given into the hand of an enemy.

26. At my breaking the supply of bread for you, then ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall return your bread by weight; and you shall eat it, and you shall not be satisfied.

27. “ ‘And if through this you do not listen to me and you go against me in hostility,

28. then I will go against you in hostile anger, and also I myself will discipline you seven times for your sins.

29. And you shall eat the flesh of your sons; and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat.

30. And I will destroy your high places, and I will cut down your incense altars, and I will place your corpses on your idols’ corpses; and my inner self shall abhor you.

31. And I will lay your cities in ruins, and I will lay waste your sanctuaries; and I shall not smell your sacrifices’ appeasing fragrance.

32. And I myself will lay waste the land, and your enemies who are living in it shall be appalled over it.

33. And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw a sword behind you; and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a ruin.

34. Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days of its lying desolate, and you shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall rest, and it shall enjoy its Sabbaths.

35. All the days of its lying desolate it shall rest for the time that it had not rested during your Sabbaths while you were living on it.

36. As for the ones who remain among you, I will bring fearfulness in their hearts in the land of their enemies; and a sound of a windblown leaf shall pursue them, and they shall flee like flight before a sword, and they shall fall, but there shall not be a pursuer.
